About Me

I am a simple country boy transplanted from the Piehl Township in northern Wisconsin to the Milwaukee metropolitan area who came down "sout" in 1980 for college and have stayed in the area since.

From page 67 of the SAIT report by Florida State University is the following discussion on iVotronic passwords.The Service Menu password, Clear and Test password, ECA password, and Upload Firmware password are three-letter case-insensitive passwords. Each one is chosen to be mnemonic and easy to remember. The problem is they are also likely to be fairly easy to guess. They follow a memorable pattern. Someone who knows one of these passwords can probably guess what the other ones are without too much difficulty. These passwords provide very little security.

I speculate that with the new version of the iVotronics (from version 8.x.x to version 9.x.x) ES&S made good on a promise to improve the security of the iVotronic passwords.

The rules of this game are simple:1)Submit a guess for each of the 4 passwords as a comment to this blog entry2) The 8.x.x passwords should be 3 characters and 9.x.x characters should be 6 characters.3) All passwords should be mneumonic so the password is easy to remember.
